Given numbers are 120,502,514,668
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 120,502,514,668 is 1292720280.
Find LCM of 120,502,514,668 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 120, 502, 514, 668 |
| 2 | 60, 251, 257, 334 |
| 30, 251, 257, 167 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 30 x 251 x 257 x 167 = 1292720280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 120,502,514,668 is 1292720280.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
120 x 502 x 514 x 668 = 20683524480
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
514 : 1, 2, 257, 514
668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 120,502,514,668, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
502:2x 251
514:2x 257
668:2x 2x 167
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 20683524480/(2x8)
LCM = 20683524480/16
LCM = 1292720280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 120,502,514,668 is 1292720280.
